Any of us…each of us…all of us

Making a difference in the lives of others is a gift that gives twice…to you and to someone who needs help. There are opportunities throughout the year to make a difference in the lives of people with brain injury and BIAV can help you put your gift to good use.

If you look at the tabs below, we have provided specific information on volunteer, membership, and donation and sponsorship opportunities. If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, please contact our office at 804-355-5748 for more information.

Donate

Your gift means we can provide help, hope and healing to brain injury survivors and their families. Together we can improve treatment, provide support and increase access to services for all Virginians touched by brain injury. Thank you for your support.

Your tax-deductible gift funds support groups, Camp Bruce McCoy, advocacy, educational opportunities and more. Importantly, your gift would mean so much to someone navigating their community after they or their loved one survived a life-altering brain injury. Please donate today.

Stretch the impact of your gift by setting up a recurring monthly donation. Each month your credit card will automatically be charged the amount that you set. Please email sheela@www.biav.net at any time to cancel your subscription.
